Acquisition

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Collection, Gift of Jennifer Linick

Funding Note: The cataloging of this collection has been supported by a grant from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.

Jennifer Linick donated the Stadelheim death certificates to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in February 2010. Her father was an Allied public health officer in occupied Munich and brought this binder back to the United States with him.

Scope and Content

The Stadelheim death certificates consists of certificates documenting the deaths of prisoners at the Stadelheim prison in Munich, Germany, between 1942-1944. The certificates indicate that the vast majority of the prisoners were executed by beheading in groups and their bodies transferred to the Anatomical Institute in Munich. Includes some bureaucratic correspondence and transport bills for taking the bodies to the Institute. Also includes the original binder which housed the documents, on which "Leichen" [Corpses] is written, and on the inside of the binder, the chemicals used to create a preservation substance to be injected into the corpses are listed.
